Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I don’t think it does. If UBI were suddenly implemented tomorrow, I think I would still go to work. I like my job most days, and feel like I’m doing good work. Plus, extra income is nice. I have a hunch that’s the majority position. 020
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I don’t even have words for how fucked up this is. Holy shit. 0190
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 26/08/2026When people say one country is “more conservative” than another, I always want to ask “On which topic?” Immigration? Economics? Foreign policy? All those sliders are on different numbers. I don’t know that you can make broad statements about the whole. 010
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Just by context clues here, I bet one of the elements discovered there was Ytterbium. 😉 100
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Animal don’t have big jiggly butt cheeks. Genuinely, there a significant anatomical difference here. 051
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I’m pretty sure he’s at “toxic sludge” on that chart, based on the facial expressions of people who have to be in smelling range of him. 000
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 25/07/2026The things it is in her power to do; speaking up, advocating, informing her constituents, and introducing legislation. She’s a Senator, not a monarch. 000
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I’m thinking previous home owner who thinks they’re really handy with DIY repairs. 050
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I went through the same thought process a while back. We put chili and cheese on top of them. 010
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The beautiful thing about fantasy fiction is that you can pretty much make your characters look however you want. The history of the real world isn’t relevant. Sure, Aragorn could be Black. Doesn’t really change anything if you think about it. 100
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I think I’d still work. I probably wouldn’t do the same job, but I like having the structure of a work day and feeling like I’m contributing something. But something like UBI would still open opportunities for those of us who like to work. 020
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 13/07/2026So Mitch posts proof of life 12 hours after Lindsey has shuffled off this mortal coil? This only makes me believe even more that Ted Cruz is a necromancer. 010
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 12/07/2026He was in his early 70s. Heart attack and stroke prime time. 000
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 11/07/2026As the person resigned to being the first to bite the dust in a disaster situation, (I rely on modern medicine to remain alive,) it’s cool. I’ve got meaty legs. You may as well, I won’t be using them. 050
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Yep. I wish I had a place to put one, but we didn’t believe in having space in bathrooms in 1950 when my house was built. Just enough room for the fixtures and no more. 001
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 10/07/2026If he keeps naming things after himself that we traditionally name after dead people, maybe the universe or whatever will make it fit. 000
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I’m not the biggest soccer fan day to day, but I love watching the women’s team play. 020
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Further evidence that everything he touches turns to shit. 3272
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Honestly, I think they don’t want to say Medicaid because Medicaid is for poor people. Like, I’m pretty sure there’s a seed of classism in there. 130
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 23/06/2026No, it’s for that OTHER obese octogenarian with pulmonary hypertension. Sure. 000
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Biden gets a share of the blame in my mind. He should have decided to drop out long before he did. Waiting until the last moment gave the party fewer options than if he had just not started running in the first place. 100
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 04/06/2026No, but seriously, it IS different. He’s a little sleazy, and I don’t love that we’re in an era where “At least he’s not a pedophile” is a thing you can say and make sense, but hell. At least he’s not a pedophile. 060
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 01/06/2026When solidly half the eligible population doesn’t care enough to bother, not voting reads as apathy, not protest. 🤷🏻♀️ 050
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I’m pretty sure George Dubya was also pretending to be dumber than he really is. 110
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 26/05/2026The allergen part of this is so fascinating to me. (As a sufferer of way too many environmental allergies.) I’m excited to hear more about this as it develops! 010
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 26/05/2026It’s the same with visual arts/sculpture. If you keep doing things that are very slightly too difficult, they start to get easy. It looks from the outside like a “gift” but it’s just the product of being too hard headed to give up on doing the thing. 020
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 18/05/2026That’s what I don’t get. I only write for fun, but it’s the story generating part that’s enjoyable to me. The editing kinda sucks. Using AI, you only leave yourself the kinda sucky part. 110
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I liked Don Quixote, personally, but I can totally see how it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Ulysses is SUCH a slog, though. I did not get far. 120
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Helen of Troy can be anyone you want her to be. Because she wasn’t a real person. The Odyssey is fiction. It’s always been fiction. It can’t be historically inaccurate, because it’s fiction! 011
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 06/05/2026I’m sorry your husband is going through that. May the good days outnumber the bad. 151
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Which means there’s at least 1% gullible enough to believe in telepathy and still aren’t buying his 🐂 💩 anymore. 000
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Even IF that were to be the outcome of DT’s actions, two months is a wildly unrealistic time frame. 010
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Jorts is a big boy! My largest kitty, who has been nicknamed The Bone Crusher, is only 14 pounds! 030
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 19/04/2026If you are able to read the news in 2026, I’m not sure there’s an upper limit, really. 1841
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I get it. I’m American, but I’m using grams and Celsius at work, and US customary and Fahrenheit in my own home. The switch gets easier, but never quite instant. 110
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I’ve had the same thought. The right had been creeping toward this since Reagan, and this might be sort of like hitting “rock bottom.” Seems like there’s a solid chance things get better from here. Sucks right now, though. 020
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 17/04/2026“Blessed are the dumbfucks for they, uh—I don’t know—they shall never be disappointed.” -The Gospel According To Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal. 000
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 17/04/2026This makes him look so dignified. He is not. He has never had a thought in his entire life, and he farts constantly. 4272
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 17/04/2026That’s incredible! I’m amazed how much progress is being made all the time. 110
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Her antics just kinda deflated my enjoyment of the story. The cracks started to show, and it’s just… not as good as I remembered. 090
Em G @eesgreene.bsky.social · 04/04/2026“You KICK Miette?” I find myself declaring “Jail for one thousand years” regularly. 000
